Product details
Overview
VLWY9930 from Vishay Semiconductors is a high-flux, non-diffused yellow TELUX LED in a 7.62 mm square package using AlInGaP-on-Si technology. It delivers 4000–12,200 mln luminous flux at 70 mA, with dominant wavelength 585–597 nm, forward voltage 1.83–3.03 V, and operates from −40 °C to +110 °C ambient. It is AEC-Q101 qualified and used in automotive exterior lighting requiring precise color and thermal robustness.
For engineers reviewing the VLWY9930 datasheet, VLWY9930 pinout, VLWY9930 application, or VLWY9930 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, binned optical/electrical specifications, thermal resistance data (RthJP = 90 K/W), SAE/ECE red-color compliance rationale, and real-world selection guidance for tail/stop/turn signal designs.
Technical Context
The VLWY9930 is a single-die, surface-mountable yellow LED optimized for high-temperature automotive environments. Its AlInGaP-on-Si epitaxial structure enables stable luminous output across −40 °C to +110 °C, with thermal resistance junction-to-pin of 90 K/W and junction-to-ambient of 200 K/W (with 70 mm² anode heatsink).
It features ±45° angle of half intensity and 100° total included angle capturing 90% of total flux, supporting precise optical control with external reflectors or lightguides. Binning is performed per tube for luminous flux (H–L groups), dominant wavelength (0–3 groups), and forward voltage (Y–6 groups), ensuring consistent photometric performance in production assemblies.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Yellow indicator element in dual-function (tail/stop) lamp, activated by vehicle brake signal. Use Value: Tight binning (wavelength group 2, VF group 1) ensures uniform yellow hue and matched drive voltage across all units in same assembly. |
| Turn Signal Indicators | Traffic Signal Lamps |
|
Use Scenario: Side-mounted amber turn signal on commercial trucks exposed to vibration and wide thermal swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Flashing yellow emitter controlled by PWM-enabled automotive body controller. Use Value: AEC-Q101 qualification and −40 °C to +110 °C operating range ensure reliable flashing function under extreme environmental stress. |
Use Scenario: Municipal traffic light housing requiring long-life, maintenance-free yellow indication with minimal lumen depreciation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-flux yellow LED in sealed outdoor luminaire with passive heatsinking. Use Value: 12,200 mln maximum flux and 200 K/W RthJA (with 70 mm² pad) support high-output, low-maintenance operation in unventilated enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar yellow LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLWR7600 | Same TELUX package, but red-emitting (λd = 620–635 nm); higher VF (2.0–2.6 V); identical thermal specs and AEC-Q101 status | Designed for red stop/tail signals, not yellow turn or warning functions | Select TLWR7600 only when red chromaticity and SAE/ECE R112 red compliance are required instead of yellow |
| VLWY9920 | Same yellow emission (585–597 nm), but lower flux range (2500–7500 mln); identical binning structure and package; RthJP = 90 K/W | Suitable for cost-sensitive or lower-brightness applications where 4000+ mln minimum is not mandatory | Choose VLWY9920 where luminous flux ≥4000 mln is not required and budget constraints favor lower-tier output grade |
Compared with VLWY9930, TLWR7600 serves red-signaling roles with no spectral overlap, while VLWY9920 offers identical yellow color and thermal behavior but reduced minimum flux-making it a functional alternative only where lower brightness is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the dominant wavelength range specified for VLWY9930?
The VLWY9930 has a dominant wavelength range of 585 nm to 597 nm at 70 mA, with binning into four groups (0–3) to ensure consistent yellow chromaticity. This range satisfies ECE R112 and SAE J578 requirements for yellow signaling lamps, and each tube ships with only one wavelength group to guarantee uniform appearance in final assemblies.
Is VLWY9930 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, VLWY9930 is AEC-Q101 qualified and meets SAE and ECE color requirements for automotive exterior lighting. Its construction, thermal performance (Tamb = −40 °C to +110 °C), and binning methodology are validated for deployment in tail, stop, and turn signal modules per ISO/TS 16949 production standards.
How is luminous flux binned for VLWY9930, and why does it matter?
VLWY9930 is binned into four luminous flux groups (H–L), with Group K covering 6000–9700 mln. Each tube contains only one flux group, eliminating mixing. This ensures predictable light output in mass-produced lamps-critical for meeting photometric regulations and avoiding rework due to inconsistent brightness across units.
What thermal interface is required to achieve the rated RthJA of 200 K/W for VLWY9930?
To achieve the specified RthJA of 200 K/W, VLWY9930 requires a 70 mm² copper anode pad on the PCB, per Vishay's thermal characterization. Smaller pads increase thermal resistance nonlinearly; for example, reducing pad area to 25 mm² raises RthJA to ~230 K/W, directly impacting maximum allowable drive current at elevated ambient temperatures.
Can VLWY9930 be used in wave soldering processes?
Yes, VLWY9930 is compatible with wave soldering per CECC 00802, with a maximum soldering temperature of 260 °C for ≤5 seconds at 1.5 mm from the package body. Preheat to 100 °C for 30 s is recommended. This enables high-throughput automated assembly without compromising LED reliability or optical performance.
